Average CO 2 emissions from new cars have fallen by more than 20% since 2000. The scrappage scheme, which ended in March 2010, was a significant factor in this trend. Cars in the sub-130 g/km CO 2 category represented almost 40% of the market in 2010 compared with less than 1% in 2000. Emissions of new cars in the UK fell 3.5%

Effects of changes in the average lifespan of ordinary passenger cars newly registered between 1990-2000 on total induced CO 2 emissions in 2000. If the 2000 market shares of hybrid cars were 14.1%, a one-year decrease in lifetime will reduce life-cycle CO 2 emission in 2000 by 0.6%. Credit: ACS, Kagawa et al. Technol. ,
